'Some of India's finest culinary ambassadors don't live in India. They carry it with them and Sanjana is one of them.' -Ranveer Brar

'Sanjana's recipes are a bridge between the west and east- wholesome and packed with flavour.' -Asma Khan

'I love how the dishes and recipes in this book are rooted in tradition, come from memory and yet connect with the current landscape.' -Vivek Singh

Indian roots don't always mean curry with roti for dinner. Modern Masala is a love letter to vibrant, contemporary cooking inspired by Indian heritage, celebrating flavours without borders.

This joyful collection of over 70 vegetarian recipes reimagines Indian flavours for the way we eat now. Moving far beyond a bowl of aloo gobi, Sanjana brings together comforting one-pot heroes like Daal Gnocchi, playful mash-ups such as Lime Pickle Paneer Fajitas, and clever bakes including her Eight-Minute Burfi. Each recipe offers a familiar nod to the tastes of her Indian ancestry, adapted for curious, globally minded cooks.

Written through the lens of a first-generation British Indian who didn't grow up eating curry every day (though most meals had spice), Modern Masala is a celebration of the adaptability and energy of Indian-inspired food. Expect bold dishes, simple methods and everyday meals elevated with a subtle Desi sensibility.

With its inventive recipes, approachable techniques and thoughtful cultural insight, this book is set to become an essential resource for anyone keen to explore modern vegetarian cooking with Indian roots.
